Ahead of the summit's first plenary session, President Obama met with heads of the 12-member Union of South American Nations, UNASUR. Mr. Obama made brief comments before the meeting began. "UNASUR is doing some excellent work in integrating efforts in the region around things like energy and security. I have a lot to learn." A senior U.S. official who attended the meeting says Mr. Obama expressed a desire to work with UNASUR nations to confront economic, environmental, and energy challenges. The official says more than one leader pressed Mr. Obama to end the decades-old U.S. embargo of Cuba. Mr. Obama is said to have declared that the United States and Cuba are "on a path of change", while reminding his fellow heads of state that the democratic process that brought them into office does not exist in Cuba. The U.S. official says several UNASUR leaders detailed what they see as a long history of U.S. intervention in their countries. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez presented Mr. Obama with an academic book on precisely that subject. President Obama is said to have stated that, while the past must be understood, he is not there to argue history - and that it is time to "move on" to confront today's challenges. 附件(310.7KB)
